there was a soldier in uniform I think that sang a song about soldiers,?

Question

I think in the video it was kind of somber and he just stood there singing I think he was a sergeant

Answer 1

Army Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler sang "The Ballad of the Green Berets." He also helped write it while recovering from being wounded in the line of duty. There is a video of him singing the song in his uniform.

The first stanza:
Fighting soldiers from the sky,
Fearless men who jump and die,
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret.

Answer 2

Sounds like it could be :Ballad Of The Green Berets

In the advertisements on TV they had someone dressed in Green Beret uniforms whom was singing the song.
